Appraisal
This building is an attractive composition of balanced proportions that retains most of its original form to the upper floors, together with decorative rendered detailing to the openings. The building is distinguished by an attractive and increasingly-rare bakelite shopfront, which is of artistic design interest, and the Modernist quality of which creates an attractive contrast with the Georgian appearance of the remainder of the composition.
